Gleeb and Altec were the most aggressive duo in Challenger scene, so it's not Xpecial in any case.

Shit I'm a bit pissed. Would really have wanted Xpecial to stay, that lineup would have looked really good with the addition of Amazing. Also some sentimental value lost, none of the, for me, old classic lineup that made me follow TSM is left (Xpecial, TOO, Chaox, TRM, Regi).

I've never been a fan of the team, but it's still a bit shocking to see the very last member of that old lineup leave just like that. Their only starting members who've been a part of TSM for more than 6 months now are Dyrus in top lane and WildTurtle as ADC, everyone else is "new".

I hope Xpecial will do the Edward, only before Worlds.

This screams a PR move by Regi. I'm a bit skeptical the whole team unanimously decided on Gleeb and the decision of where Xpecial goes wasn't up to Xpecial. Next split top 2 is C9/CLG with 3rd between TSM/LMQ

Well, at some point they had to do it. I agree that they could wait until next Spring, but first, Amazing and Gleeb didn't cost them a lot, and i bet that they sold Xpecial for veeeery good money.
And there is no reason to think that this team can't make Worlds, with amount of raw talent in it.

You can't compare influence from toplane and from support in game.

Gotta be Gleeb.

I am wondering all the time what will happen with Altec. Can not imagine he will be without a team. Maybe Crs?

Could have been nerves. It was the only time we've seen him playing for most of us. He could be a good player. While playing for TSM puts him under even more pressure than playing the promos he might grow into this if his basics are solid. But he'll probably fail the first two weeks and moves onto the Nien path.

A wise redditor once said:
Xpecial Turtle were considered the 2nd best if not the best bot lane in NA. Gleeb lost to Fking yolopete at relegations and you are going to tell me this is an upgrade? BS.

No way that Glee will be as good as Xpecial. If TSM get lucky he won't lose them half their games but that's about all you can expect right now.
CLG is smart. They actually try different players and fly them to LA to let the team get a good feel before announcing that they have a new player.

Yeah, they also took Nientonsoh and made him play top lane l0l and thought he'd be the next Jesus.
